Monetary value, denominated in units that we refer to as bitcoins and satoshis.

I can find a price for satoshis in fiat or specie

But I cannot ascertain a value

How much monetary value does a satoshis denominate?

Now that is the question.

Value is subjective and determined by each individual. So it’s up to you to value a satoshi.

How much monetary value does a gold bar denominate? It’s better to think of it in terms of purchasing power imo.

It's up to me to value a satoshi?

What can I do with it?

It’s up to you to value everything.

Up to everyone.

bitcoin not bitcoins

Few

Golds is not a thing and neither are bitcoins

Gold coins are a thing

I do agree bitcoins are not a thing, but neither is Bitcoin

Perhaps one day you will discover some Bitcoinium and mint some

Exactly, people own gold coins not golds. Similarly, people own bitcoin UTXOs not bitcoins.

Bitcoin is objectively a distributed ledger that tracks the movement of UTXOs, which are denominated in satoshis.

I’m all for calling the new element discovered, Bitcoinium.

“There are million different bitcoins, who can tell which ones are good and bad?!”

Overheard today.

We’re early. 🙏
